A miswak is a natural toothbrush made from the Salvadora persica (Arak/Peelu) tree. It has been used for centuries for oral hygiene.

Peel or trim about 1–2 cm of bark from the tip, chew the fibers until they resemble bristles, then brush your teeth as you would with a toothbrush. Cut and prepare a fresh tip every few days.

Typically 2–3 weeks with regular use. The lifespan depends on how often you brush and how you maintain it.

Yes! Studies show miswak has natural antibacterial properties, fluoride, and silica that clean teeth, freshen breath, and strengthen gums, without toothpaste.

Keep it in a clean, dry place. A travel tube or holder works well to prevent contamination.

Absolutely. Miswak is 100% natural, plastic-free, and compostable; a great zero-waste alternative to plastic toothbrushes.
